“Climate scientists”. Definitely not the sharpest tools in the drawer…

The other unknown climate control computers fading into infinity (beyond the Sun) is a stroke of comedic genius.

A picture worht a thousand words!

Is this the reason EPA has announced controls on water vapour emissions?

Control Freaks. NICE JOB! You say so much with just a little ink and a few lines.
Love the body language of each pitiful little freak. I can just hear them, “Hmmmm….. the Sun….. .”
“Uuuuuuuuuuh, hm.”
“Ooooooh, well, hm.”
“Now, (ahem). What’s this do?”
etc, etc….. #(:))

Nice! Will they add a Late Breaking News section to the IPCC report?

“Climate scientist” is my new favorite oxymoron.

Looked, and laughed.
Read comments, re-looked, and laughed again.
More comments – another look – and another laugh!
A lovely – and deep – artwork.
Many thanks indeed for brightening my evening here in England. Greatly appreciated.

Love it! One of your best cartoons ever! I also like the several sun controls on the side.

And, because it’s so good, have added it to the pictures that appear on my desktop.

I also like the fact that the CO2 knob is the smallest, but is getting the most attention…

…and the CO2 knob appears to only adjust in one direction…

One sketch shows that Josh has a better understanding of the warmists than any psychologist, I for one am glad to be on his side.

My mind went completely in another direction and my first thought was, “Oh Josh you didn’t!” He didn’t.

Speaking of amusing connecting of the dots, this just in-
Seth Borenstein reports on Sept 3, 2013 that a new study finds that financial stress monopolizes thinking, resulting in a temporary loss of 13 IQ points. Someone from Harvard is involved, so it is not to be questioned.
This is a stunning result. Think of the IQ loss when people are stressed about something much more dire, like catastrophic climate change and dirty weather and flaming faucets and 400 ppm and an underwater west side highway!!!!! I suspect there may be a ‘tipping point’, where runaway IQ loss takes over, and otherwise smart people start chaining themselves to gates and fences.
This helps to explain the empirical observations of David Roberts who wrote, back in October 2011, that “those who strongly support climate action do not do so because they’ve been rationally persuaded; in fact, they tend to be quite ignorant of the scientific details.”

QED.

But shouldn’t there be a control knob for hurricanes?
Going up to 6, of course?

Would James Hansen be one of the ‘knobs’?

The Great Glowball Warming Scam & Scheme Walk Back has begun.
Gore, Suzuki, Mann, Trenberth, Hansen and the all the rest . . . there is still time if you begin you own personal “Do the Walk Back” to attempt to salvage something of a decent reputation, a step in the right direction to salvaging your damaged and lost careers.
But you have to get on the Walk Back Train now.
Just admit you were wrong, apologize for the $$$$$Trillions wasted around the globe on useless greenie CO2 scams and beg for forgiveness.
